Renowned Italian eatery, Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse, will be opening its first Philadelphia suburban location in the upcoming King of Prussia Town Center, writes Kenneth Hilario for Philadelphia Business Journal.

The restaurant has signed a lease for 9,000-square-feet in the JBGR Retail development for the planned 325 seat restaurant.

“Since the developers of the King of Prussia Town Center are bringing a collection of downtown-quality restaurants to the suburban Main Line community, we are very pleased to be a part of this project,” said Steve DiFillippo, owner of Davio’s.

The steakhouse joins the exciting group of restaurants that have already signed leases in the new center, including Fogo de Chao, Old Town Pour House, and Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar.

According to Tom Sebastien, senior vice president of development at JBGR, they are selecting restaurants strategically in the hopes of creating a downtown in Upper Merion similar to Center City in Philadelphia.

“What we’re trying to do here is create not only a great environment, but a great collection of restaurants that are downtown quality,” said Sebastien.
